Yes, but now Schumer et al want instead an investigation to stay within the Senate, and bipartisan. But McConnell and crew won't sign off on that unless and until things get worse first. Several Republican senators still need to see what legislation they can get out of Trump first, and I don't see them investigating the Golden Goose anytime soon.

watch the GOP go after the CIA/FBI on this (IOW, shoot the messenger)
and come up with ways to say it's really no problem for Russia to interfere with our elections. (oh wait, they just did....)

I went out on a limb a few days ago and posted elsewhere that Gen. Flynn Facts would be gone by the end of February. He was shown the door the next day. I predicted here that Pres. Trump would serve out a full term because the Republican Congress wouldn't risk impeaching him for fear of their base. I hate to think I was being overly optimistic and that we'll soon have a Pres. Pence which would be worse than a Pres. Trump.

Maybe not. He is already pushing his socially conservative agenda. With Trump as the face of the administration, his loyal minions will cheer anything he does.
With Pence as the face, it may not be as easy, since the end game is more obvious.

I agree - as much as Pence would be a terrible president just as he was terrible for Indiana, he doesn't appear to be part of the $$$$-Russia-Philippines cabal and we need that out of the White House fast.

Throw my vote in with you. Bannon must be expelled from the halls of power. NOW.

Add my vote FOR a blatantly right wing conservative, as opposed to a shady cartel backed by even shadier oligarchs.

I'll never support a "today's" Republican. They would have to be openly moderate. And only in an emergency such as this. I prefer Trump over Pence. I'm confident we can mute him by 2018. But that only happens if we can be unified. No alternative agendas.

Who said ANYTHING about SUPPORTING Pence?
This is a mutiny in which the trapped passengers oust a raving lunatic captain bent on destroying his ship, knowing his replacement is a vile malefactor bent on indenturing his passengers upon arrival.
I just want to see dry land again.
